A quick search on the internet shows that your statement is false. absalom.com Utah has laws against polygamy. It's just that they have more offenders there than in other parts of the U.S., because some Mormons believe in polygamy. How come you could look up the Utah situation but not the Muslim one? The reason I ask its a key to the way you think and how your bias encourages you do one but not the other. "Islam Muslim polygamy, in practice and law,differs greatly throughout the Islamic world. In some Muslim countries, polygamy is relatively common, while in most others, it is often rare or non-existent. Polygamy is most widely practiced by Muslims in West Africa (where it is also widely practiced by non-Muslims), as well as in certain traditionalist Arabian states such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates; in the rest of the Muslim world, it is extremely rare, with some countries even banning it." Oppression of women not the norm in Muslim countries? What are you smoking? I was addressing your comments re. gang rapes and handing off girls to older men. Yes, women are oppressed in Muslim countries but that happens to be true of almost any third world country, Muslim or Christian. ted
